Tales from the Shadow Time

Julie Vulcan
1989

2 video monitors, found objects – wood, corrugated iron, building rubble
Video/sound: Julie Vulcan

The video monitors arranged vertically and horizontally on top of two plinths amidst corrugated iron, wood and building rubble. The horizontal video displays an apocalyptic landscape of building rubble and twisted steel rising from supporting pillars, like antennae. The vertical video overlays a black and white figure with a colour figure, slowly curling up into each other. The work continues explorations into the cyclical nature of landscape, destruction, retreat and dormant possibilities.
